If you know a Veteran, someone in your family, friend of the family, neighbor, who served their country, take a brief moment of your day to thank them. Thank them for the sacrifice they made for the better good of their country.
We at Free Republic, and the USO Canteen FReeper Style, are thankful for every service member in our military, who has served our great nation.
So, to the men and women who answered the call, in both times of war and peace, thank you.
.
Message from Snow Bunny to all those who visit the Canteen.
This is how I think of the USO Canteen Freeper Style. It is like a cottage down a road, a place where a weary veteran can spend the night.
Since it opened, it is magical how so many Freepers who post here, feel it too. It has been so dear how the Freepers kept making it a cottage - a home-type of place that had a huge living room for them to visit in and a dance floor, a library, etc.
Many Veterans have written to me, saying that the Canteen is like home to them for the first time since they served.
This is your Canteen - a respite from our busy and sometimes troubling world. Make yourself at home.

Thank You GATOR NAVY for Serving our Country
Because 5 of 6 ships I have been on have been amphibious ships,
or "gators".

USS ST LOUIS (LKA-116)
USS SAN BERNARDINO (LST-1189) decomm crew
USS DUBUQUE (LPD-8)
USS JUNEAU (LPD-10)
I have been stationed in Japan since 1990.
I am currently on shore duty near Tokyo,Japan/
Prior to this tour all my Japan time was in Sasebo, on Kyushu.
I have been happily married for over 9 years to my lovely wife Atsuko.
We have two sons, Takezo, age 7, and Shuzo, age 5.
Here is my son Takezo
Here is my son Shuzo
Although I read FR daily, I don't usually log on unless I want to
reply to a thread. But I will always get back to you (ask Snow Bunny)
sooner or later if you send something my way.

I know , from experience, how fast you girls are to whip out those 2x4s! That is the ONLY reason that I outlawed them for this contest.
